Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was named as the Premier League Player of the Month for October marking the first time a player from Arsenal has won this monthly award since Olivier Giroud picked it up back in March 2015.
This is the first time in 3 years and 7 months that an Arsenal player has won PL Player of the Month.
Congratulations to Aubameyang for ending the drought! https://t.co/AfTqYOXGLl

Brighton & Hove Albion’s goalkeeper Matthew Ryan was named Premier League’s PFA Bristol Street Motors Fan’s Player of the Month despite getting the same number of votes as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in another vote.
With that vote tied, the award was given to Ryan as he played more minutes than the Arsenal forward which, if you ask me, is a stupid reason.
If you are just as good over 500 minutes as someone else is over 1,000, who is really deserving of the award?
Yes, yes, I know, I’m just bitter.
